io library?

Gwinda

I'm trying to use the io.open() to write a log file on disk but i get the error message "trying to index a nil value" so I figure that the io library isn't loaded by default.
So I added require "io" but then I get "function expected instead of nil" on the require line, so I assume that "require" has been removed from the Lua language.

Is there any way to use the IO library files, open(), write() and close()?

I never tried but i'm guessing they were removed on purpose.

There used to be a function that allowed you to save a chat channel to disk but i think that one has been removed as well.

Bummer...

Do you know when it is possible to send text to the chat window?
I know it should work after EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED but is there another event I can use to dump some text to the chat window at startup?

EDIT:
Never mind, I use the EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED to dump my buffer...

Anything after EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED will work. At the time EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED is called, the chat window isn't initialized yet.
